Law enforcement standoff inspection drone
11691727 · 2023-07-04 ·

The law enforcement standoff inspection drone capability (L-SID) integrates Various technology to enable a capability implemented at the squad car level to allow the first-to-scene the ability to remotely pre-screen the scene for threat, before an on-foot approach. This is accomplished with an officer launched and controlled and specially configure small unmanned aircraft system (UAS). The LAS is integrated with a specially configured one-hand drone controller, a wearable see through heads-up-display glasses, microphone that's linked to the UAS's onboard loudspeaker, and a special processing that enables looking through a vehicle of building tinted windows during enforcement event. The system operates on a private ad-hoc network, implements IEEE 802.1 1 g/n WPA 3 standards, and provides continuous live steamed scene data throughout the enforcement event. All data and video collected is transmitted in real-time to headquarters.

Maneuverability involving a fixed-wing aircraft and an aerial vehicle having vertical takeoff and landing capabilities
11542004 · 2023-01-03 · ·

Techniques involve releasing and/or capturing a fixed-wing aircraft using an aerial vehicle with VTOL capabilities while the fixed-wing aircraft is in flight. For example, the VTOL aerial vehicle may take off vertically while carrying the fixed-wing aircraft and then fly horizontally before releasing the fixed-wing aircraft. Upon release, the fixed-wing aircraft flies independently to perform a mission (e.g., surveillance, payload delivery, combinations thereof, etc.). After the fixed-wing aircraft has completed its mission, the VTOL aerial vehicle may capture the fixed-wing aircraft while both are in flight, and then land together vertically. Such operation enables the fixed-wing aircraft to vertically take off and/or land while avoiding certain drawbacks associated with a conventional VTOL kit such as being burdened by weight and drag from the VTOL kit's rotors/propellers, mounting hardware, etc. during a mission which otherwise would limit the fixed-wing aircraft's maximum airspeed, ceiling, payload capacity, endurance, and so on.
